  1. Any road conference win is a good win. I tend to think the defense played really well and was getting worn down by the second half. Really felt like Texas was gonna fuck around and blow it there in the late third/early fourth but credit to the offense for stepping up when they absolutely had to. I believe if Texas doesn't go down and score when they get the ball up 13-10, Arkansas wins the game. Ewers, I mean, it is what it is. Think he played okay. Took care of the ball and hit on some really nice short/intermediate throws. Also had some self sacks that were big setbacks and missed Helm on that slant that should have been 20-0. The deep balls are head scratchers. He is worse than 2022 somehow. Sark's clearly not going to make a change at this point but there's no way this team wins a title when defenses don't have to take the vertical passing game remotely seriously. Feeling pretty zen about it honestly. Let's just go beat aggy. 11-1 with a 3-0 record against OU, piglets, and aggy all away from home would be a categorical success.
  2. My first reaction is that he is insulting the intelligence of his voters and consistently being proven right for it, ala Abbott or Cruz. But actually when you look at his broader record I think he's just in the Dan Patrick or Sid Miller archetype of being that stupid.
  3. Jesus fucking Christ. I'd say this guy's professional career just ended but he'll actually get a raise in the right wing grifting sphere. Kyle Rittenhouse style.
  4. I mean it's basically just education polarization through another lens
  5. Fucking great line. An all timer.
  6. The funny thing is it isn't the college educated white collar suburban voters or the "elites" who are going to notice a 30% increase on bananas or coffee or whatever.
  7. I just want to point out there was not a major male candidate in the Mexican election and Sheinbaum was chosen with a plurality, not a majority, of votes in her party's selection process (rest were men). Also being AMLO's handpicked successor and all. That's not to say your point isn't salient but to add context.
  8. Try to seduce his children?
  9. Uh, look at the org chart
  10. To? He will. Trump wants a rabid attack dog with undying loyalty. That's Gaetz. Trump will expect the GOP Senate to rubber stamp and try to bully them into compliance if they don't. He's not going to withdraw a nominee because Susan Collins is "concerned," he doesn't give a fuck. Through? Tossup at this juncture. Murkowski and the new Utah guy are more likely than not to be no's but Collins probably folds. GOP may or may not be down a vote with an empty seat from Vance. Lot of moving parts.
  11. Perhaps we'll see but I'm not sure. Matt Gaetz is a phenomenally stupid human being and there's a non zero chance he will be the Charlie Strong of political retribution.
  12. @Frank Drebin never answered me because he's just on a rage-filled shitposting binge (love that for you daddy) but Trump went ahead and answered for me in a couple days. lmao fade me
  13. This is the right answer in general. Texas-OU is the only weekend that's iffy for me, and that really only applies if the couple and social circle are UT alums/invested in the game. You should probably know better with that one. But if someone unaffiliated with UT or uninterested in UT football has a wedding then, I'm not going to get all butthurt about it; I may not go if it's not a close relationship, but I don't think that's a big deal either way.
  14. I'm a younger guy and way less into the whole "I hate my wife" bit that older generations, so I get where you're coming from and admire your perspective; but, I mean, this is a two way street. It's not a crazy ask of you to want to watch the Texas-A&M game without unneeded, somewhat frivolous interruption. Honestly the whole fall wedding backlash is overblown and only a handful of Texas games are appointment TV in a given season. This is one of them though. If this were Kentucky or Vanderbilt or ULM or some shit then who cares, but it isn't. And we're talking about a shower, not an actual wedding. Uber is the obvious solution here.
  15. Honestly I think this is spot on.
  16. Most of these are just showing that MAGA is still really bad at comedy but I'll give you the Don Lemon urinal one. The Matt Gaetz one is funny in an unintentional, laughing at him sort of way given he's had more work done than most Hollywood actresses.
  17. Net migration between the US and Mexico is basically zero over the past 15-20 years.
  18. To be fair, this is a two-way phenomenon, though it's always been notably stronger on the Republican side. Just really dumb.
  19. @PRONG HORN maybe the Power Lesbians, whatever that is, are coming for you next. Maybe you should flee the country and never post on Surly again. You know, for your safety.
  20. I don't think I've gotten these (didn't give money to the presidential campaign) but I do keep getting emails from Bob Casey's campaign (didn't give there either) asking for money. Bro. You're down 30k votes. You've been down 30k votes for a week. Every time the numbers change, you're down 30k votes. Your opponent has been invited to Senate freshman orientation. I don't know why the race isn't called. Fuck off.
  21. You are right, I should have included Ohio for one specific reason: Sherrod Brown has a good shot at getting back into the Senate in a special election for Vance's seat in 2026. If he's up for it, Democrats would be monumentally stupid to run anyone else.
  22. Democrats control the election infrastructure in most swing states and at least have enough power to stop any un-lower case "d" democratic legislation in all of them but Georgia. Democrats are going to have strong midterms in 2026. Elections are going to happen. The country may or may not be irreparably broken by 2028 but there will be an election.
  23. Yep. And the Democrat that gets elected in 2028 is going to inherit an ungovernable situation and motivated red state resistance. This country is officially an actively failing state.
  24. Polis is high on the names to watch for 2028 for me.
  25. Yeah I don't know what I thought you were referring to, but it wasn't the vitamin lol. So I've heard, though.
